WHAT DAVITT SAYS.
The One-Armed Patriot Discredits
the London Times Latest Yarn.

LONDON, Dee. 11.-In an interview
this afternoon concerning the Times
alleged dynamite revelations, published
this morning, Michael Davitt said:
The Times sO-called disclosures were
made either by its anti-Irish scare de-
partment or somebody in New York
ambitious to obtain & sensational adyer-
ti5ement. In either case such scare
at the present time, when two men, no
matter whether they be innocent or
guilty, are awaiting trial in London for
alleged connection with dynamite
conspiracy, was most cOwardly. pre-
dict that when the New York inter
viewers visit the room in Chambers
street to-day and give their impressions
in tomorrow mornings about the place
and its staff Of clerks, the fund
of 9200.000 will shrink nearer to
nothing than did Falstaf'S men in nIbuck-
ram. There is not a journalist, detect
i've, government official or public man
i'll New York, or any other American
city, who does not know that ROssa'S
whole party cannot command as many
farthings as the Times endOws them
with pounds, and any one who has read
the United lriShman within the last six
months, knows that ROSSa is engaged in
uClCHulllS
charges made by former friends who
have affirmed that he betrayed some
men who are now undergoing long
sentences in England for alleged com
plicity in dynamite operations. Mad as
Rossa is, he is utterly incapable, in
my opinion, of betraying any
one to the English government.
But that he or his successor controls the
vast sum mentioned by the Times is as
probable as that the unemployed work.
ingmen of London have large bank ac-
counts, and the plot is about as vision
ary as the fabulous fund with which it
is to be effected. The Times never ad-
mits that the dynamiters repudiate the
Parnellites in language equally as
strong and elegant as that of the Times
itself. The Times daily denunciation
of Mr.. GladstOne's policy might be in
splred by one of ROSsa'S writings, only
the London edition of the New York
anti-Parneliite organ has as yet nothing
of my assassination, as ROssa's paper
did in November, 1856, for my attack
upon the policy of violence and phys
ical force in Chicago. Out of each
LOGO of Irishmen in America 999 sup
port Mr.. Parnell and oppose criminal
violence, and nothing is or can be more
calculated to recruit the lessening ranks
of the dynamiters than the writings of
papers like the Times"

cures Nice Sum.
Special to the Globe.
CR0OKsTON, Minn., Dec. 14.-This
was the date set for accepting filings on
contests from parties desiring to pro-
cure lands within the indemnity limits
of the Northern Pacific railroad. The
office and hall leading thereto were
filled at an early hour. The train from
st. Paul brought hundreds more. A
majority of these people already occupy
the lands they desire TO file upon. and
have valuable Improvements thereon,
and their anxiety in not few cases is
touching. The closing of the
land office caused lull in the rush
of applicants, but the different land
attorneys were found hObnObbing to-
gether III very excited manner, and
venting indignant and undignified inn
precautions against William Smith, reg
lister of the land Office. The cause of
this is by them claimed to be an ag-
gravated case of nepOtism. The regis
ter has for 4 soG-in-law at Red Lake
Falls young attorney named Dave
Williams. and since Mr.. Smiths Occu-
pancy of the registers Cffice he has re-
peatedly said he would not let his SON
in-laW practice before him in
land contests, as the people would
charge him with being partial to
his side of the case. To-day when the
train arrived the greater portion of
those having contests were under the
espionage of Mr.. NOrby, clerk of the
court of Norman county, and he had
their filing and contest papers all made
out. needing only the signature of an
attorney. This attorney proved to he
Mr.. Williams, and he occupied the
government contest room TO do his busi-
hess, and had free access to the govern
medt Office all day. The other attorneys
in the city did not do business enough
to pay them for the trouble they had
taken to prepare for the wOIk. The
local attorneys claim it is q put-up job
between Smith, Williams and Norby.
and the opinion of the business COM
munity regardless of politics seems to
lean that way. Mr.. NOrby claims that
it was 10 put-up job, but that lie came
with his papers prepared in order to
help these poor contestants, and Mr..
Smith informed him they would have to
be signed by regular attorney. He
recommended Williams, hi S sOn-in-laW,
and he thought it best not to prejudice
MS case by acting adversely to Smiths
advice. The fees charged for making
filings by Williams were S25. and it is
claimed his receipts were about $1,000.

CONGRESSMAN MILLS.
The WelI-knOwn Texan Talks
About Tariff Reform.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Worlds
Washington correspondent has had an
interview with Representative Mills, of
Texas, who will probably be chairman
Of the committee of ways and means.
He is quoted as saying: Il heartily
agree with President Cleveland'S tariff
ideas, as put forth in his message. While
| believe that an ad valOrem tariff is the
only fair and wise measure, still | will
vote for specific tariff if by that means
| can get bill passed reducing taxes"
do you think bill will be passed
by congress reducing the taritf!,
IF congress does its duty it will pass
some measure lowering duties and de-
creaSlng our revenue"
''DO you think there will be much diff
ference of opinion about the bill?'
''Well, there are many interests that
imagine they will lie hurt by the lower
duties and helped by the higher ones,
and of course they will be heard from,
but l hope we may be able to harmon
iZe these conflicting opinions and pass a
bill making substantial reductions"
"Will the bill, do you think, pass the
senate?"
Il cannot tell about that. l am in
clined to think some bill will pass the
senate. 1t may not be what we want.
and we may quarrel some over it, i'll
legislative way, and then agree on
something. Constituted as the two
houses are now, it is hard to predict
what phase the bill will wear when it
gets through, if it should succeed at
ALL"
''Do you think the tariff will be the
issue in the campaign OF 1SSS?'
There is no doubt of it, and am
,-1o Il +lnt hot 10 Nil
it. We can win the fight if we do not
get frightened and fly the tleld.'
do you think that any measure af-
fecting the tariff that may be passed by
this congress will make itself felt in the
country at large in time to have any ef-
feet on the campaign of 1SSS?'
IF the tariff is lowered considerably,
and should be passed by the 1st of
April. to take effect June 80, the price
of our exports would go up before the
bill takes effect, and before November
the improved condition of agriculture.
manufactures and commerce will be
very perceptible."
''WOuld you reduce or repeal the in
ternal tax on tObacco?'
''NO, would not, if [ could, pass The
bill by myself; but cannot, and l shall
have to get the best can and be con-
tent with it. The president has laid
down in his message the true principles
tax luxuries high, necessaries of life
low, if taxed at all. People can do with
out tobacco better than they can do
without shirts and shoes"
The Republicans say the Democrats
are in favor of free trade and mean to
do away with custOms.'
THAT is all silly. We speak Of free
trade as we do of free men. Yet free
men have to be taxed to support gov
ernment and so does trade. When we
say free men we mean men who refuse
to bear unnecessary burdens. and when
we speak of free trade we mean trade
StrippedDf unnecessary burdens. We
have had custom houses and tariffs from
the beginning and will lave them to the
end"
Mr.. Mills expressed confidence that
tariff measure would pass the house
without much debate and that it would
be presented to the senate at an early
day.

THE SENATE.
Faulkner Declared to Have a
Good Title to a Seat.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Mr. Hoar,
from the committee on privileges and
elections, presented report in the
West Virginia case. He said that the
report was unanimous. The questions
raised were very simple ones and easily
cOmprehended. One of them had been
long ago determined by the senate, and
he supposed that all senators had had
occasion to reflect on the other. In
order that the senator entitled to the
seat might enter at once upon his
duties he hoped there would be no Oh
lection to having the report disposed of
at present. The report was read
at length. 1t concludes with
two resolutions, the one de-
claring that Daniel H. Lucas is
not entitled to the seat, and the other
declaring that Charles j. Faulkner has
been duly elected senator from the state
of West Virginia for the term of six
years, commencing March 4, 1887, and
is entitled TO a seat in the senate as SEN
atOr. The resolutions were agreed to,
viva vOce, and the oath of Office was
thereupOn administered to Mr.. Faulk-
ner. Mr.. HOar then moved that Mr..
Faulkner be assigned to the committee
on claims, District of Columbia, Mines
and Mining and Pensions. Agreed to.
The president then sent to the senate
several hundred recess postmaster nom
